the price of serious modding

I paid $6000 for turbo stuffs, not including installation for some componenet. you might ask why so much, because most of stuffs are customed. "custom" = expensive

so i would suggest you wait till they made something for your motor/(TC)

For the price that you guys paid for the mods and upgrades, was it worth it?

Although the experience of modifying my car has been great, it's also been very frustrating. The Camry/Solara platform was not meant to be performance oriented, and modifications always seem to require lots of tweaking. Increasing the power gains of the supercharger has resulted in a lot of problems that have well documented on these forums. If I had it to do all over again, I would have started with a RWD car; or better yet, just spent the money on a more performace-oriented car from the factory.
